This time around, we'll be dealing with only one adaptation, the 1991 Oscar darling written for the screen by Ted Tally and directed by Jonathan Demme, starring Jodie Foster as protagonist Clarice Starling and Anthony Hopkins in his first appearance as Hannibal Lecter, a role for which he is perhaps most recognized. Now, with 2015 nearing an end-the year in which the aforementioned television show said goodbye (for now)-we're ready to move ahead into Thomas Harris's sequel to Red Dragon, perhaps the most famous and revered of all Lecter properties, The Silence of the Lambs (or SOTL). Last month, I took a look at the first of four novels featuring the character Hannibal Lecter, Red Dragon, as it related to its two screen adaptations, Manhunter and the Brett Ratner film of the same name, as well as the TV series Hannibal, which I felt handled the material the best.
